Tulane only signed two prospects from the state of Louisiana in the 2017 recruiting cycle, but entering his second season, head coach Willie Fritz would like to see that number grow substantially in 2018.

Tulane has sent out a flurry of new overtures to local prospects in recent weeks, in an attempt to get in early with some of the state's top prospects. With just shy of a year before the 2018 recruiting class comes to an end, it is too early to gauge where they may end up, but it is likely they will sign more than two this go-around. Here is a rundown of each of Tulane's in-state offers by alphabetical order.

I know we offered Pooka Williams super early, like 2015. He was one of the recent high-end recruits to commit to Kansas, seems like he could be persuaded to go somewhere other than a traditional power. I hope Fritz tries to get Fat Rob and Forte to help recruit the kid. The dude is an absolute beast!

You want a QB? Here's a QB for us. Jalen Chatman, 3-stars, from Harbor City, CA. Just did an unofficial visit, loved it, feels like he's a perfect fit for our offense, will commit somewhere by the end of May. Article is worth reading. Would be a great catch.

Lindsey Scott was 5'11" when he was a senior, but weighed 205. This guy is 170. Hopefully a senior year would fill him out a bit, but not too much, otherwise no way we'd hold his commit until signing day. Wish there were more people like Stephon Huderson, who committed and stuck with it from day one.

Robert, I think me and you absolutely love Mr. Huderson. I can't wait to see him on the field. I'm almost certain we will see him at the next level as long as he keeps developing.

Great article in SI online about Coach Fritz and how he's using the City of New Orleans for recruiting. Tip of the hat to Troy Dannen, whom tweeted a heads up about this article. You need to scroll down the page as the video at the top has nothing to do with Tulane (or the headline, for that matter!)

I note several post regarding QB's height...in the run-pass-option you complete as many passes with your feet as you do with your arm ...by that,you use your feet to create passing lanes....This Offense demands a mobile QB and actually opens the doors for may "too small" to play QB at some schools,,,they are usually excellent Athletes and can cause many issues for opposing Defenses...so bring me a 5"11/6'0" qb with a solid arm and great feet over a 6"3" qb, with feet of concrete...Tulane has to adapt to schemes to the players they can recruit, not many "pro style" QBs will be enrolling at Tulane anytime in the near future

Plus big brand schools almost always won't target QBs 6'0 or shorter, and, as a result, Tulane could benefit from targeting high end QBs at that height range like Jalen.

The only reason Lindsay Scott is at LSU is that Miles missed on all of his QB targets and the fan base would have rioted if Miles didn't sign a QB in that class.

Pretty sad excuse for an article. The first paragraph is pretty much the same as he wrote in an article back in Feb when he listed all the 2018 Louisiana players that we had made offers to. This time its a list of in-state and out of state recruits that have visited to observe spring practice.

Pooka's grades and test score may have him headed to JUCO. And to have him as only a 3* is a joke. You have to see this kid play in person, unreal speed and moves and way more power than you'd expect for someone his size.
